Yes, I also remember we had that discussion, but can't remember exactly where it was, too. Oh, the aging process.....
Anyway, if I'm not mistaken, one of the British users said, in the UK it would be common for groom and best man to dress alike.

Hm, ok. It's not a tradition in Norway - the best man usually dresses in his regular suit, just like everbody else (sanse the groom). That's why I noticed.

Yes, same in Germany, you have matching little details like a little flowery bouquet or something.
On a complete different matter: I read a couple of times that - considering tjlc- the story of the " Three garridebs" is highly considered to be filmed and bring the big change for the boys. It was yesterday that I read a meta about it. I reread it in canon but still am a bit oblivious as to why it should be this one? Any ideas?

In Canon it is the only story in which Holmes really expresses his feelings for Watson. Here is the famous quote:

"It was worth a wound — it was worth many wounds — to know the depth of loyalty and love which lay behind that cold mask. The clear, hard eyes were dimmed for a moment, and the firm lips were shaking. For the one and only time I caught a glimpse of a great heart as well as of a great brain. All my years of humble but single-minded service culminated in that moment of revelation."

People expect to see a similar moment in which John is hurt and Sherlock worries about him like hell. I think Moffat mentioned that when the moment comes it would make people cry.

Ah, okay, I see. Yes, I stumbled across this well known quote, but actually I thought we already had a
couple of similar moments on screen, that's why it didn't really struck me as a big change.
And I also read this quote, but wasn't 100% sure it was genuinely by Moffat.

I think we had a small moment in TEH after the bonfire but I really hope to get more. And preferably without Mary standing there.

Oh, yes, THE hands.... Caressing.....*thud*

I am absolutely willing to cry into a bucket for that scene.

Buckets, barrels, rivers. My tears shall be given frreely.

I don't usually cry during movies or TV-shows, but in that moment (and canon Johnlock ) i will gladly cry many tears of joy!

It is most definitely a Brit tradition that the groom and best man dress the same...

I already did that at the end of TRF, and I can't wait to do it again - only next time tears of joy.
I also think that we already took a first step in this direction in TEH and also in TSoT...

Definitely. I still don't know how people can think that TSoT is entirely a comedy.

The end of TSoT breaks my heart. The most moving thing ever is Sherlock playing their walz, it's the most heartbreaking thing I can imagine.

Hmm, I like this:

tonnaree · January 15, 2015 12:49 pm

I it wrong that I wouldn't actually have a problem with the blue option?

gently69 · January 15, 2015 12:56 pm

Because it would hurt so good or because of ...
Rude, tonnaree, rude!

tonnaree · January 15, 2015 1:12 pm

I'm a bad bad girl.

gently69 · January 15, 2015 1:14 pm

It's good to be bad!

SusiGo · January 15, 2015 1:14 pm

You would also sell the souls of your family members for getting Johnlock, I suppose.
